The suspended Indian Premier League commissioner, Lalit Modi, had a brief respite in the heritage haveli case as a Jaipur court dismissed a criminal complaint against him on Wednesday saying a similar case was already pending in the Rajasthan High Court.

The beleaguered IPL chief was dragged to the court for allegedly buying and selling a heritage haveli illegally. The anti-corruption bureau of the state has investigated the matter and filed an FIR.

Modi and his wife Minal have been charged with buying the heritage site by floating a bogus company Heritage City Construction Pvt Ltd. They allegedly gave a fake address of Sanganer and the company was not found on that site.
